Some juicy target is standing behind the Rhino (e.g. Mephiston), I placed my blast marker so the hole is at the edge (but still on the hull) while the template cover the people behind the Rhino. My opponent insists that this is not allowed: the template needs to be fully on the hull. Have I been playing it wrong?

Nope. Perfectly legal. Just remember that such placement
means a bad scatter will likely result in no hits.

IIRC, as long as the center hole is touching the hull, you're good. I've seen people fire so that the center hole is over two vehicles with one shot.

@Squidmanlolz Is that even allowed? Shouldn't the entire center hole be on the hull?

The entire center hole has to be on the hull for it to have full strength, is it not?

I'll reread my rules in the morning (its near midnight here), but IIRC, as long as the center is touching the hull, it's full strength

Q: If the hole at the centre of a blast marker is only
partially over the hull of a vehicle, is the hit resolved at
the weapons full Strength? (p60)
A: Yes.

Only need part of the hole for full strength of blast weapons.

That does make a conversion beamer much better than I previously thought. Thank you all.
